Gogglebox

P.S. I went to a Tennessee Williams play and saw Leon and June in the stalls, I said hello and he said “I’m on after the interval”?
Nice couple, hard to believe they and others have gone.

I watch it when my son comes round and we have a laugh. No one else likes it. I don’t watch any of the programmes featured but it doesn’t matter.
Mary seems unnecessarily harsh on Giles. I saw some of his paintings and thought they were very good,

I love Gogglebox.
It`s good to see people in their homes being "normal"having a laugh/being serious etc.
I miss the poor souls that aren`t with us anymore.

The Siddiqui family are very witty and entertaining yet they very rarely use bad language and the disabled man and his sister are also very witty with very little bad language, if any. It is also one of my favourite programmes, I do miss June and Leon and Mary and Marina.

We’ve yet to watch last night’s, I’m sure it’ll raise a laugh or two.

Can be very funny but wish they didn’t swear so much! Surely not normal in most families?

Anyone watching this last night?

Everyone is entitled to their own views of course, but Mary thinks Boris has been ambushed and Giles doesn't think it's a resigning matter. Obviously they know better than the police and all the other politicians.

A lot of people think this way.
I know quite a few who do, one is a GP practice Manager who always refers to poor Boris.

I just love it, my absolute favourite programme swearing and all…?

The language used on Gogglebox is pretty everyday stuff -unless you're from Cranford of course!

Used to watch it but now there is too much swearing and vulgarity don't watch anymore

I’ve only been watching it for about 3 years now. I started mainly as it’s on on Friday nights when I’m home alone with control of the tv remote. I found there wasn’t a lot else on so gave it a try. I love the Saddoqui family best. I really miss Mary and Marina. Lovely ladies always full of fun.
Incidentally I was reading a magazine at the hairdressers today. It had an interview in it with Joan Collins saying how she was a fan and would love to be on the celebrity version. Now that would be interesting!

Yes I really liked Mary and Marina it was such a shame that Mary passed away…

I have recorded a lot of Gogglebox some of it is going back to 2019 and there was something I watched last night about the elephants and the mother rescuing the baby elephant stuck in the mud and then the head matriarch elephant died, my God I was in bits…. A lot of laughter but some poignancy as well as demonstrated with the elephants….? The thing that put me off watching it for years was the actual title ?

I binge watch too Shinamae. Thank you for that photo of Giles and Mary. They are amongst my favourites along with the Siddiqui family, Amani and Amira, Jenny and Lee and many others.

Must watch a couple of episodes tonight to give me an emotional boost.

??? Shinamae

too right

The last three nights I have binge watched Gogglebox and I have to say it has really really cheered me up and I don’t really care if it’s scripted I just find it so funny and in these awful times it’s great to be able to laugh out loud at something….?

I like it but I agree, it does seem more scripted now and almost like an advertisement at times. I wish they wouldn't put naked attraction on it (GOD I sound a prude) I have no desire to see anyone naked on a Friday night

I love the Siddiqui's too. They seem such pleasant, gentle men

I love Googlebox too, Jenny an Lee are my favourites, Giles and Mary, Dave and Shirley all of them really but I’m not that keen on the couple with the two boys or the two girls with all the dogs.
Shirley is the manager of a local charity shop not far from where I live.

Also one of my favorites that can make me laugh out loud and occasionally weep. It also saves me from watching some dire programmes but still know what they are about.

i avoided it initially, as i assumed it was something to do with computers.
i'm a bit dim.

Yes Shinamae that's the picture I saw.

We love Gogglebox! Our resident son introduced us to it a few years ago. I feel it saves me watching a lot of other programmes, it's a good resumé of the week's viewing.
It's a bit Marmite though, my brother-in-law can't stand it ?

Just found this picture of Giles and Mary when they were younger, what a gorgeous couple..?
